INGREDIENTS

  • 2-4 portions cod fish fillets
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons softened butter
  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly chopped cilantro, have extra for serving
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 lime juiced
  • Additional lime slices or wedges for serving

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and lightly grease your 9x13 baking dish.
  2. Lay the cod fillets out in the baking dish. Season the fish with salt and pepper.
  3. In a small bowl, stir together the butter, oil, flour, garlic, paprika, cilantro, Dijon mustard and lemon juice. The flour is optional but it adds a nice crisp.
  4. Coat the top of each fillet with a generous spoonful of the butter mixture.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 -15 minutes. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of your fish and weather it is fully thawed out of not. The fish is ready when it easily flakes with a fork.
